Fwd: Report a bug in HotSpot

[Krystal Mo]

Hi all,

Xi Yang has reported a bug in HotSpot's interpreter that it doesn't 
empty the FPU stack on return from JNI calls. His mail is included below.

e.g. If a native function called via JNI is using MMX registers without 
emptying the FPU stack before returning, then after returning to Java 
the FPU stack will be in a bad state.

The test case Xi gave is demonstrated here on JDK7u9, x86: 
https://gist.github.com/4148771
Running the example with -XX:+VerifyFPU shows what's going on.

This test case shows the bug affecting 32-bit x86 version of HotSpot's 
interpreter.

Not really familiar with how to file a bug on JBS yet, I'll file a bug 
to track this after I learn how to do it.

Regards,
Kris

Hi,

It looks like HotSpot does not do "emms" after backing from JNI. Here
is the code to show the bug. Would you like to try the newest version?


Hello.java
class Hello {
     private static native void abc();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
       System.out.println("I am main");
         System.loadLibrary("Hello");
         abc();
         long a = 100;
         double b = (double)a;
         System.out.println("Double a is " + b);
     }
}

Hello.c
#include <jni.h>
#include <stdio.h>

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_Hello_abc(JNIEnv *env, jclass cls)
{
   printf("I mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm java Helo world\n");
   unsigned int dummy;
   asm volatile("movd %%mm0, %0\n":"=r"(dummy));
   printf("dummy is %x\n", dummy);
}


gcc -m32 -shared   ./Hello.c -o ./libHello.so


/opt/jdk1.7.0/bin/java -Djava.library.path=. Hello
I am main
I mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm java Helo world
dummy is 0
Double a is NaN


$ /opt/jdk1.7.0/bin/java -version
